• 19 Oct 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I beg to move the following Motion:- THAT, aware that the Kenya Police Medical Examination (P3) form is a legal document that is produced in a court of law as evidence in cases which involve body injury; noting that victims are required to have the P3 form completed by a certified public medical officer; further aware that the victims are charged a fee for this service by the hospitals attending to this particular service; concerned that most citizens are financially challenged hence the medical fee charged by the hospitals, is in contravention of Article 48 of ... view

(3) The National Assembly enacts legislation in accordance with Part 4 of this Chapter.” The matter of the P3 Form is of great concern to the people of Kenya. The P3 document has the following sections: Part I, which is supposed to be filled by the police officer requesting for examination of the complainant. It has reference and date.

• 19 Oct 2016 in National Assembly: Well guided. I was just trying to read through the details of this form so that Members can be acquainted. The Constitution provides for access to justice. Article 48 of the Constitution provides that the State shall ensure access to justice for all persons, and if any fee is required, it shall be reasonable and shall not impede access to justice. The process of filling the P3 Form starts in the police station, but sometimes takes a lot of time for that to be done. In some cases, a person may be frustrated for two weeks and decide to leave ... view
• 19 Oct 2016 in National Assembly: or take it in your hands. In the northern part of the country, communities have engaged in fierce fighting that have left people dead. It is in this spirit that I urge this House to ensure that these abuses are stopped. The “ utumishi kwa wote” slogan should be put into practice. Anybody who reports matters of bodily harm should be given the attention that they deserve freely. A person reports a private or confidential matter, but some police officers joke and make fun of the complainant, making the victim more aggrieved. These forms should be filled in good time ... view
• 19 Oct 2016 in National Assembly: I would like this House to support this Motion because we are here to represent the people of Kenya and deliberate and resolve matters that affect them. I beg to move and request Hon. Gunga of Kaloleni to second the Motion. view
• 19 Oct 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I thank the Members for the contributions they have made and the support they have given to this Motion. We are here as Members of Parliament to represent our people in matters that affect them directly. This is one matter that is of concern. There are issues that we need to bring to the attention of this House. One is the arbitrary arrest of members of our public. I am sure every Member of Parliament has such issues in the constituency. The law is very explicit that the arrest should be made where a ... view

• 19 Oct 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I thank my colleagues who have contributed. I am delighted and moved by the passion that Members have shown to the Motion. I believe, out of their contribution, we will ensure that doctors will be available and the courts will also give priority to cases of assault and rape so that victims can be given the treatment they deserve - unlike in the current situation where somebody defiles a minor and he is left free because the courts are not ready or the doctor is not available to fill the P3 Form. This is ... view

• 12 Oct 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me this opportunity to contribute to this important Bill by our colleague Hon. David Ochieng. In fact, one big problem that we have in our country is notational and attitudinal. You will always hear comments to the effect: “Do not mind if you fail in your bid to be elected. The Government is big. It will accommodate you.” Those are the people who are appointed to parastatals as directors. This Bill is important and timely. We need to weed out directors who have no qualifications and background knowledge of whatever institutions they ... view
